Interesting news for the owners of 135i and 335i models, BMW will offer a performance upgrade for the N54 twin-turbo engine. The press release was issued for the German market, but we expect similar news for the U.S. market as well.
The N54 engine will receive 20 extra ponies, to a total of 326. BMW performance power kit consists of software and hardware components, so we should expect a high performance exhaust as well as technologies that will help the air circulation. Water cooling is part of the kit as well.
BMW 335i Coupé and BMW 335i Cabrio can combine the BMW performance power kit with the seven sport automatic transmission with double clutch.
A BMW 335 equipped with the Performance Power Kit, will accelerate from 0-62mph in only 5.4 seconds. No pricing information at this point, but be prepared to pay for those extra horsepower.
You can read more on 1addicts.com where you can see the full press release in German, along with a Google Translate of it.
Thanks for the link Mohammed!

So why couldn’t they offer it also for a Z4 Sdrive35i, when they already had that upgraded engine in new 7-series?
Actually i think that they should offer this as a standard for all models with the same engine, atleast for a next model year.
Your welcome Horatiu
I would love to know the price, I think BMW needs to get this right .
@8er: Very good question. I’m assuming that will capitalize on that in a couple of years, when they can say that the Z4 facelift gets a more powerful engine as well.
Therefore, sales can be increased
It’s about time!! So, is this a ZHP option?
As far as I know, the performance exhaust option is only for acoustics, they give no performance benefit over the standard one. I think the 3’s previous exhaust upgrade included 4-pipe exhausts, 2 for higher rpm resonance and some kind of valve to engage them.
Wait a minute… what’s this water cooling change? Is it a air-water intercooler?

BMW is the king of engines, the king of premium cars
And what’s the 535i, chopped liver? Come on BMW.
The big question is whether this upgrade will be 3x the price and 1/3 the power boost that could be had with an aftermarket flash….

Priced up for my 335i it was £1300 excluding fitting, absolute ripoff.
